Property Description
Nestled on the Bogue Falaya River, this nearly 9,000 sq ft historic estate sits on just over 6 private acres on a coveted corner of S America Street in downtown Covington. A timeless iconic piece of Covington history, the home blends grand-scale living with intimate, private grounds featuring mature azaleas and camellias, and trails winding to the river. The 1984 renovation, expertly executed by George Hopkins, preserved the mansion’s historic essence while updating its comforts. Key features include: The almost 100-year-old mansion with stately presence and rich historical details, including wood-paneled rooms and a barrel-ceilinged upstairs living area that opens to a fabulous terrace. Generous living spaces upstairs and downstairs, ideal for entertaining, with easy flow to indoor and outdoor areas. Oversized kitchen designed for serious cooking and gatherings, plus a large private primary suite for a resort-like retreat. Reclaimed ironwork from a New Orleans building and bricks from the original Charity Hospital, infusing historic charm throughout. Working elevator enhances accessibility across all levels. Private, serene grounds with lush old-growth plantings and direct river access, plus a pool fed by an artesian well for refreshing outdoor enjoyment. Prime Covington location: walkable to shops, dining and local culture, yet incredibly private. This home offers a rare combination of historic elegance, modern comforts, and outdoor allure—a true landmark on Covington’s riverfront. This one of a kind estate is ready for new memories and a new owner to invest in its next chapter while preserving its storied past.
